History
In 2011, the Chenzhou Beihu Airport project was included in the "12th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Civil Aviation in China" by the Civil Aviation Administration of China. It took ten years from the start of the feasibility study to the commencement of construction and the completion of the airport.[5]
At the end of 2012, the Chenzhou government compiled the "Chenzhou Airport Site Selection Report of Hunan Province". In July 2013, the Chenzhou Airport Site Selection Report was completed and passed the preliminary evaluation by experts organized by the Civil Aviation Administration of Central and Southern China.[6]
On January 13, 2015, the site selection for an airport located in Tashui Village, Huatang Town, Beihu District, Chenzhou City, was officially approved, and the airport was named "Chenzhou Beihu Airport."[7]
On January 4, 2019, the airport project officially commenced construction, with a total investment of 2.13 billion yuan and a land area of 3,100 mu (206.67 hectares).[8][9]
The first flight calibration was conducted in March 2021.[10] On May 21, 2021, Chenzhou Beihu Airport completed its official test flight, and on June 18, local authorities officially conducted its acceptance inspection. The apron of the airport was equipped with 6 Category C aircraft stands and a 2,600-meter-long, 45-meter-wide runway.[8]
